Hold your hood open with steady, controlled ease using the Stabilus Lift-O-Mat Hood Lift Support 5B-9878VD, a gas-charged strut with dynamic damping speed control. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2004-2008 Acura TL (see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details) and measures 14.04 inches.
- Dynamic damping speed control: a longitudinal groove — a velocity manifold pressed into the tube wall — routes gas around the piston for a fluid opening motion with no bouncing or jerking during cycling.
- Gentle stop: the groove profile narrows toward the end of the stroke for a controlled stop with minimal impact.
- Corrosion-resistant coatings: part coatings tested to automotive standards for corrosion resistance.
- OE-based design: built on the OE design to help ensure proper fit, form and function, and easy to install with no special tools.
Weak or failed struts that let the hood drift down or feel bouncy are signs these supports may need replacing. For best results, replace in pairs.
